OP- what is offensive about the Durga post? Liberalism and progressiveness are one of the best parts of Hinduism. That’s what makes India so great. If not, we’d be the same as Pakistan or Afghanistan.
No we should not! That’s how we become like some of the other intolerant religions out there!

Question to bowl leader. Does your policy of allowing meme posts apply to every religion? If someone posts memes about prophet or Charlie Hebdo comics, will you kick them out or allow it as freedom of expression?

Strongly disagree bowl leader - you don't get to decide what's offensive or not. If enough people on this bowl find that meme offensive then that post should be removed.
Religion is a personal matter - an inclusive secular society is one that respects all religions, not one that disregards them.
Bowl Leader
Hi C2 I agree with you. If majority of the bowl disagrees with the post, it will be removed. As I mentioned, we don’t have the power of deleting a post. We only have power of banning users for a few hours or days. Please feel free to report the post if you are offended by it

Both bowl leaders are Pakistanis. What do you expect?
Bowl Leader
DD1 you’re making me very uncomfortable right now by going so personal. If you don’t want to believe me, that’s ok. If you don’t agree with this bowl, please feel free to leave but please don’t create a hostile environment here. Thank you
Chief
Totally agree. But we also know that bowl leader is partial and he threw out our beloved deshbhakt Analyst from the bowl.

It is pretty simple. You can’t make an insulting stereotypical comment targeting a set of people to defend another set of people and claim the moral high ground. Simply doesn’t work. It never leads to a civil debate.

Curious: what's offensive about that image?
And, what about "Ganesh playing cricket" or "Ganesh as a doctor" idols that people install? Does that offend you?

Associate1: ‘Ganesh playing Cricket’ is made up by hindus and they are celebrating it. But do you know who posted the post below ? Identity brings trust certain situations. You cannot expect people to be chilled about these posts while there are others who are beheading people just for cartoons. Certain things need to be censored for rightful reasons.
OP, can you post a link to the Cow Urine Drinkers post, sounds like an interesting post to read up on.
Bowl Leader
Hi Op, thank you for posting this. If you find a post or comment to be negative, you can reach out to me or the other bowl leader and we can delete the person off the bowl. However, I cannot remove a person for posting a meme. I don’t see it causing any harm and it was just a joke. I don’t see any disrespect to any religion. However, if you do feel that it hurt you, feel free to report the post. Fishbowl doesn’t give us the authority to delete a post from the bowl
Bowl Leader
Thank you, op. Please feel free to report the post if you find it offensive. We really don’t think it would be cool to ban the person but the post will likely get reported and be deleted by fishbowl. Again, fishbowl doesn’t allow us to delete posts else we would’ve deleted a lot of these controversial posts 😊
